Description:

For Concrete Dams, knowledge is an important characteristic regarding design and analysis.  When there is a reduction in the level of knowledge, then there is usually a corresponding increase in conservativeness.  When conservative assumptions increase, then costs will increase.  Therefore, it is easy to see why knowledge is important.  

This seminar has been developed to educate professionals in the engineering practice of concrete dam design and analysis.  The seminar will include lectures summarizing the methods used in current practice, and examples (spreadsheet based) that provide the participant's experience applying the method and techniques presented during the course.  

Learning objectives attendees will receive from this course:

• Link historical design philosophies to current practices in concrete dam design.
• Review past failures and incidents.
• Summarize the typical loads and load combinations applied to concrete dams.
• Developing Potential Failure Modes (PFMs) for concrete dams and learning how to use analysis results to assess PFM development
• Dynamics, understanding earthquake loads and behavior
• Surveillance and monitoring considerations and concerns
• Introducing Risk related to concrete dams.
